Ttiie little fYagatent a tBa great work, this cuia jejUa auka bu ( uta cumplaied Illumination of the World's fair, la all that has been seen by Henry Ruatln, who con ceived and created the entire pageant. Ha is now fighting for his life in climes that promise a renewal of health to consump tive First he hurried to Colorado In this struggle. Then he went to Saranao Lake. N. Y., to try the open air cure. From there he haa gone to Omaha, his birthplace, and from Omaha he must now hasten to Arisona, atlU battling for his Ufa. Under no circumstances, says his physi cians, must Henry Ruatln return to Bt. Louis. The price of diaobedienoe in this lnatance would be death, they declare. And It la In St Louis that the greatest achieve ment of hla brilliant life Is now exciting tha wonder and admiration of the world tha completed work which he la forbidden to see. It waa at tha time of tha World's fair dedication ceremonlea, now more than a year ago, that Henry Ruatln contracted the severs cold renponeible for hla aubee quent breakdown. He had been .tremen dously busy up to that moment, and the preparations for the dedication Imposed a still aeverer strain upon him. His- wife and children were then absent from St. Laouia and Ruatln took up hla quarters In a World's fair dormitory, sleeping and eating at the scene of his toll. It Is said by hla associates that he worked eighteen out of every twenty-four hours during this trying period. He was absorbed Id hla task of making the World's fair electric Illumination the mont splendid spectacle which the world has ever seen. Wtsard ( electrical Illamlaatloa. It waa due to his genlua that the lighting of the Trananilsalttalppt exposition at Ouidha had be-n auch a pronounced sue cess. From Omaha he had been called to Buffalo, after having served one year at the former plaoa aa chief electrical engineer and one year aa director of worka At the Buffalo exposition he waa made chief electrical and mechanical engineer and In stalled the Illuminating plant and general lighting design that made the supreme hit of that undertaking. So great waa hla aua ceu at Buffalo that he waa chosen by the management of the Louisiana Purchase ex position to be chief mechanical and elec trical engineer for the World a fair of 19o and placed lis absolute control of all the work In thia Important field. He waa de termined to make this the crowning achievement of his life. The week of the dedication In Bt. Louis in marktd by wintry weather, May though the calendar showed the month to haw air, KuaUa contracted severe cold that setUed on hla lungs. His doctors told him he must abandon his work, at least temporarily, to regain his health. Ha re fused to do so. Later he had one or two hemorrhages and his brother came on from Omaha, alarmed about his condition. This brother compelled him to take a month's rest. Then be returned and resumed hla work and paid the penalty. Then came a momen when he waa too weak to work. No alternative waa left open to him. He resigned his World's fair position, but not until the general plan of his creaUon had been prao lcally completed, his re signation going Into effect May 1, the opening week of the World's fair, al though he had been compelled to leave St. Louis some time earlier. Since then ha has been striving to regain his health. Pathos of the Story.' The pathos of tha story of Henry Rastln Is almost without aparallel. The work that he has done at tha World's fair Is recognised by electrical and engineering experts as of the highest class, placing him. It la said, In the foremost American place In bis profession. There are those who assert that this young Henry Rustin he Is only 35 years of age stands alone as a nelectrlcal engineering genius and that his achievement at the St. I.ouis World's fair confirms him In this high sta tion. Not only was he In charge of the great Illumination spectacles, but of the lighting of the entire World's fair, design ing some of the most effective Illumination features of the Pike In carrying out this phase of his task. Certain general figures will glvs some Idea of the magnitude of the work done by Rustin. There were 300,000 dear, or white lights furnished for World's fair Illumination, 80,000 colored lights and 1,800 arc lamps, the greatest number that haa yet been employed In the history of Inter national expositions. On the Pike there are 15O.000 lights. In the Philippine reservation there are 30,000 lights and the designing and Installing of all these waa done by Rustin. The task of effectively lighting the two square miles of the World's fair area Is pro nounced by electrical authorities a her culean task. It has been performed by young Rustin, In addition to the central Illumination feature, In so brilliant a man ner as to win the world's admiration. In the very heart of the main Illumina tion picture of the World's fair stands Festival hall. Its dome rising 325 feet above the pliuut, a majeatio structure, overlook ing the Grand buxln, the Plaaa of Bt. Ixmia, the Colonnade of States, the Electricity, Kducatton, Manufactures any Varied . In dustrie buildings. This splendid ball Jj marked In every outline with Incandescent lamps, some 20,000 being used to make it a crowning feature. All otheV buildings named, Included In the Illumination, are similarly brought out in Intimate outline by thousands of lights. The central pic ture of the fair is made to appear as a veritable city of light, the columns and walls brought out into striking relief. The picture results as a whole Is such as the world has never before witnessed. The power sufficient for this effect had to be secured from three sources an ex hibitors' power plant of about fifteen direct connected units ranging from 400 to 6,000 horse power each, the Westingbouse service plant of four 2,800-borse power units, and other power rented from the Union Light and Power company of St. Louis. The power supply Is 6, 800-volt, three-phase current, direct from tha large generators to the various substaUons. For decorative lighting of tha buildings the electiio cables 'are run to the roof a Switchboards are plaoed on the balus trades above the cornice line and from here the lighting feeders extend around the buildings. Small circuits are connected at convenient points and run to the columns, cornice lines, etc. The wiring it concealed wherever Its presence would injure the spectacle. It was Mr. Ruatln's plan to so arrange the hundreds of thousands of lights that they , would appear as a part of the build ings themselves, and he has succeeded in carylng this into execution. The great buildings bloom Into radiance almost as if by their own volition, and the Illumination at Its height seems a spontaneous glowing of the entire picture. It Is this impressive effect that has caused the World's fair illumination fea ture deulgned and created by Henry Rustin, Omaha man and Tale graduate, to be the most admired and talkcd-about feature of the World's fair. But Rustin himself has never seen the picture. He will never see It If he obeys his physicians, because It Is perilous in the extreme fur him to return to 6U Louis. He muHt content himself with the knowl edge that he has won undying fame In Its creation, despite the fact that the World's fair management has not fully carried out his plans since ill-health drove him from Uie scene. It Is an astonishing case of the artist remaining forever ignorant of the beauty of his own work. The story of Henry Rustin is full of heartbreak, brilliant as It Is, nevertheless, with supreme achievement. tfL Loula Postr Dispatch. QUEER SLIT IN COMMON HAT Out "Which Only Weapon of Oriental Savages Make Marks It. RELICS OF HEADGEAR AT POLICE STATION Some Interestlag Hlatory Conaected with These Old gpecimena Left by Criminals la Care of Omaha. Omeerrs. In corner of the desk sergeant's cage at the police station there are plied, one on top of the other, four hats. As mere hats there seems to be nothing extraordin ary about them; they are old and dilapida ted and they have been used to such an extent that it is doubtful if a generous rag and bone man would give 60 oenta for the lot. Tet in each one of the hats there Is a hlatory; some have been mute wit nesses of crime and at some future date may be the means of portioning out to their owners a deserving punluhment. The oldest among them Is a gray felt; it is not fit to grace the head of a scare crow now, but at one time lu prloe wag' the main feature about It. At one end there Is a large semi-circular gap and un der the rim are blood stains. Blood-stained hats are common enough at a city police headquarters, but the Interesting point about It Is the gap. There is only one knife In the world that can leave such a mark and that knife Is rarely seen In civ ilized countries. Its home la In the rear of Oay street in Hong Kong, among the evil smelling galleys of Shanghai, or among the pigmy Goorkhas of the Himalaya slopes. WlUi this knife as their chief wea pon, the Dogra Hill tribes chant their way to battle. It Is the short-handled, curved blade of the Orient the "Kukri" How cam it to be ustd In a city of the Occident T What benighted heathen pos sessed It and whose Christian head did he cleave? These are questions the police nave been trying to solve, but In vain. The hat was found one morning near a weed patch at the end of Ninth street and it has remained at the police station since. No, 9 Ordinary Paaama. Number I Is a Panama of the cheaper sort and is ttie latest acquisition to th collection. It also bears blood stains and, like No. 1, is considerably damaged. Thla hat waa picked, up in an allay near C1U- nese restaurant a few nights ago and Is supposed to belong to one of the toughs who stabbed the Chlneae proprietors of that eating house. The police would like very much to return It to its owner and In faot would be willing to substitute a new hat In its place to the person that would claim It and the responsibility attached to it. Whose throbbing head did It last cover T Those that know can earn the heartfelt thanks of the pollc by Informing them. Number 3 Is a b k felt, more apt to be seen hanging across the saddle horn In some lonely cow camp than in a city. It la a long way from the dreary sage brush and alkali of the western , prairie to the atlll more dreary police station, but the hat haa Journeyed that distance. It waa found In an empty room of what was ono a gambling house. Tradition says the hat belonged to a reckless cowboy who after staking his all on the vagaries of seven-up and ejccitlng roulette and losing, left the house In a dase. And last, standing apart from this col lection of the headgear of criminals and gamblers, la a hat one would least expect to And there, A dainty, piquant, girl's straw hat. It Is not of the class that Is usually seen at the city Jail a class whose siiape and size resembles the main sail of a schooner and whose tops are decorated with a kitchen, garden and an ostrich farm but a plain straw with a plain black ribbon and silver tat pin. No one knows bow It came to the police station. Like the rest of the flotsam and Jetsam which is set floating on the doad sea of soolety, It arrived at Its eventual anchorage the po lice station. It was discovered one night on a steam radiator In the ball, carefully wrapped up in paper, as if Its owner wished to care for It till the last moment. It la a hat that any healthy American girl la likely to wear, but who that heulthy Amer ican girl is even the detective force cannot fathom. Coart Saves Ilia For.au.
